In this episode of Behind the Deep State, host Alex Newman explains how subversives and collectivists deliberately turned tens of millions of Americans into illiterates using quackery such as the whole word / look say / sight word method of teaching reading. This often produces symptoms of dyslexia, and was first exposed as ineffective quackery in the 1840s when it was tried in Boston under Horace Mann. Alex also gives some phonics programs–the proper way to teach reading–that you can use to protect your children from becoming illiterates. And he gives a brief overview of the reading wars.
